Procedure

2-fluoro-benzaldehyde (2.00 g, 16.1 mmol), potassium carbonate (2.45 g, 17.7 mmol) and thioethanol (17.1 mmol) were dissolved in 10.0 mL DMF in a 50 mL round-bottomed flask under dry nitrogen, topped with a reflux condenser. The reaction mixture was heated to 55° C. for 3 days. After cooling, the mixture was added to 50 mL of saturated potassium carbonate solution and extracted with 3×50 mL portions of ether. The extracts were dried with magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The crude product was further purified by chromatography on silica gel using 2:1 dichloromethane/n-hexane as eluent to give a yellow oil (1.94 g, 72%). 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.37 (t, J=7.5, 3H), 2.99 (q, J=7.5, 2H), 7.26-7.56 (m, 3H), 7.84 (dd, J1=8.0, 1H), 10.37 (s, 1H) ppm.
